Went to bring dogs in and dogs were looking up, I heard something hovering. it went away in a distance..and came back, so I called my son down and he heard it also.. It went away like you would hear an airplane in the distance. The sound sounded like a big fan...that wasn't loud to make your ears hurt????!!! It came back but sound high then went away.
